It is time for a female president.

[Captain_Nemo]

I respect the fact that Hillary did NOT vote for Cheney's Energy bill....and I respect her work for women and children around the world. In all honesty (and i know I will get the posters who will yell and scream and call me names please don't bother I will ignore you) it is time that the USA showed their daughters and sons a female president.

Soft issues (rights of children and women) need to be placed on the front burner if we are to change our world.

Soft issues is what Hillary has spent her life fighting for.

If you are female in the USA then you have spent a lifetime looking at the pictures of the presidents and seeing all men. (And we wonder why women have self-esteem problems, domestic violence, make less money that men and are under represented in government.)

We are 52% of the population. after 276 years it's time to see ourselves in the most powerful position in the USA.

Some say "well, I would vote for a woman but just not this woman."

I ask "Who then?"

Out of fifty states we have two female governors
Out of fifty states we have 16 female senators.

We are underrepresented in our own government.

Then I look at the facts:

1. She voted against Cheney's energy bill and Obama voted for it. (6 billion in subsidies for oil companies.)
2. He has consistently voted to fund the war the entire time he has been in the Senate. (anti-war?)
3. She has consistently worked to better the lives of women and children around the world (look it up if you don't believe it.)
4. She has women's rights on her website and Obama does not
5. Barack courts the religious right with his male dominated language that promotes male domination in religion (I've had enough of that for a lifetime, actually.)
6. Barack has a shitload of corporate money behind him
7. His health care plan covers children but not their mothers? Wow, that makes sense!
8. He can trash Wal Mart in a debate with Hillary but there are many americans who cannot afford to purchase from anywhere else.
9. Read the Chicago Sun Times and search for "Rezko Obama." Then read every article. (that's all I need to say)

Lastly, In all honesty - and I mean this:
If there is not a female on this presidential ticket I wil have to abstain from voting in the GE. Why? Because a lifetime of voting for all men for presidents is enough.

I have to vote my with my core principals.
